 My server hosting the video collection is configured via DHCP and changes
 its IP from time to time. Hosts that like to access the video collection
 fail to do so since the host IP is expected to be stored in the
 "BackendServerIP" in the settings table as a numeric IP.

 The attached patch solves the issue for me and allows for the
 "BackEndServerIP" to be specified as a DNS name.
